Bulls’ LaVine on Late-Game Benching: ‘You Play a Guy Like Me’

View the original article to see embedded media.

Bulls guard Zach LaVine spent the final 3 minutes and 43 seconds of Friday night’s game against the Magic on the bench after a dreadful shooting night. At the time, Chicago was trying to rally from a double-digit deficit, an effort that LaVine said he could have helped with after the team’s 108–107 loss.

“I got to do a better job at the beginning of the game to make my shots, but you play a guy like me down the stretch,” LaVine told reporters. “That’s what I do. Do I like the decision? No. Do I have to live with it? Yeah. Be ready to put my shoes on and play the next game.”
